"figures from above" day 4 / by Philip Tarlow

figures from above 35x37” as it looked at the end of my painting day today

2:28 PM: we’re going up the creek trail in half an hour & today i’m bringing crayons instead of colored pencils, so we’ll see how that goes….i’ll post what i do later this afternoon.

this morning i took figures from above a bit further, proceeding slowly, listening to where she wants to go next. it’s richer than yesterday, and brings to mind a study i made of an archile gorgy painting in 2017.
